Still couldn't find the damned Coke! West Coast didn't have any Mexican Coke the last time I was in by the way. Perhaps my sickness is spreading. (Jerk.)

Extra Large Peperoni with Banana Peppers is our default order. I can see Dominos from my house and the independent pizza makers in MA just suck.

The only pizza redemption in MA, is in S.E. MA and Cape where everyone has Linguica as a topping!

Sometime in the 90's they stopped the free pizza pizza thing and changed their entire pizza to a cheaper round version.

Around here, we still have a few but they have been reduced to walk in stores with pre-made pizzas for 5 bucks a piece.

HORRIBLE STUFF!

I don't mind saying that it looks like I was right. I said, sure this is a stupid concept, but there are stupid concepts and stupid concepts that work. Up 40% in sales last I checked (month or so back) and heading straight up? But then again, I am in advertising.

The crust is as they advertised both buttery and garlicy. Probably from chemicals.

To compete with the numerous pizzerias close to where I live, I started construction of my own outdoor WFO (wood fired brick pizza oven) out in the patio.

Happened to be on the far side of town where the only Domino's in the area is located, and happened to have a coupon for a $6.99 large 1-topping pizza with me, so I ducked in and picked up a thin crust, half pepperoni, half-extra cheese.

Not bad for what it is - although I did screw up, I meant to order a Brooklyn crust, not a thin crust. Oh well, less carbs for my fat azz this way.

For the regular price of $12.99, I would not have bought it, too many good local places to choose from (Steve's, Woodstock, etc.) where I can get really, really good pizza for about that much or a bit more, but for $6.99, I don't regret it, and I'll probably be back again next time I have a good coupon because I really wanted to try the NY crust... LOL.

Hmm... Steve's Pizza? You wouldn't happen to be from Miami would you? There's a Steve's Pizza here that has basically become a Cultural Icon down here.

I will always look for a local before ordering from a chain. I would rather keep the money local and the quality is usually better.

Nope, and I'm fairly certain it's a different "Steve".

All this may be surprising for a company whose product has been regarded by many consumers as not all that indistinguishable
from the cardboard box in which it arrived. Confronted with evidence that customers too frequently found its product to be subpar,
Domino's didn't try to spin, or change the subject, or make subtle adjustments. Rather, in a calculated and risky strategy, the company
embarked on a campaign to confront the image head-on. It's rare for large publicly held companies to craft advertising and marketing
plans that come across like Maoist self-criticism. But that's what Domino's did.


HA, told ya. I know the advertising business.

I used to love Domino's, but since they changed, I can't even choke it down. The crust is gooey and pasty and the sauce is sickly sweet and they STILL don't have anchovies.

I don't know, the Mom & Pop in my neighborhood rocks, but the best I've ever had is from Bertucci's.

You are definitely in the minority, bro.

http://www.qsrmagazine.com/menu-inno...domino-s-pizza

I think they are finally eatable. Not great but doable. Before, they were nothing but cardboard, tomato paste and petroleum based cheese.

People order from chains because it's cheaper. That, and there may be no good independent shops in their area. There has never been a good shop where I live until a few years ago when a couple Paisans moved here and started an amazing authentic NY pizza joint.
